BOGUS MAPLE SiRUP. ~
The Best Way for Farmers to Fight Dealers
In Adulteratcd Goods.

The Best Way for Farmers to Fight Dealers
In Aduiteratcd Goods.
Prof A. J. Cook points out the fact
that while comparatively little genuine
maple sirup is made. it is well-nigh inn
possible to go into any of the thousands
of grocery stores in this country with
out finding plenty of jars marked Pure
Maple Sirup." 1t is story of fraud
and adulteration as wicked as that
practiced by the oleomargarine people.
Glucose sells for less than 20 cents per
gallon. Mixed and doctored with a
little maple favoring, it is sold for
$1.O0. This glucose is made from corn.
The grain is ground, the starch washed
out and heated with sulphuric acid.
The acid is afterward removed by the
use of lime, but the consumer never
knows how complete this removal is or
whether any of the acid remains in the
glucose he is called upon to eat. When
poorly prepared-and the consumer
never knows when this condition oc-
curs-glucose contains virulent poison
which will surely injure the system.
Makers of pure maple sugar must con-
vince their patrons of their honesty.
The sweet they prepare in its pure state
will always command the highest price,
for it is delicate luxury. The best
way to fight the bogus dealersis to war
rant every can as strictly pure, to OBJ
serve the most scrupulous honesty and
to advertise in an attractive way

New BRUNSWICK. n. j.. March IL
The mystery surrounding the Denmead
family has been cleared up. The family
consisted of three brothers, Samuel. Rob
ert and John and Samuel's wife. Sam
uel's wife and Robert had not been seen
for over two months, and Samuel's man
ner repelled everybody who made in
quiry. At the instance of relatives a
search-warrant was issued. and i'm the
hovel occupied by the family was found.
yesterday, the bodies of the two missing
persons partly decOmposed- The condi-
ton of the bodies indicates that they
died from starvation. Samuel and John
say they died from natural causes, and
the superstition is that after they fell ill
they We're neglected and thus starved.
The brothers were arrested. After this
they gave power of attorney to their
counsel who had their horrible den
cleared out and most of its contents
burned. I'm it were found great guanti-
ties of deeds, mortgages and other valua-
BILE papers. The family are very wealthy
but have lived As recluses many years,
repelling all association with the rest of
mankind. Their counsel this evening
makes the statement that Robert Den
mead was taken i'll four months ago and
died Christmas Cornelia was taken ill
Just before Christmas and died a few
days after. Death i'm each case resulted
from natural cause. John says Samuel
would not permit the bodies to he buried.

CHICAGO PANIC sUBsIDING.


wheat Nervous and Generally weaker
The Close Higher.
CHICAGO, March 1.-THE wheat mar
ket was unsettled and nervous to-day
and generally weaker. but the closing
prices for the day were shade higher
than those of yesterday. The market
opened steady for May at set cents from
which point it advanced quickly to S3s
but began to break down again under
free pounding by bears. Onevery stage
down the rumor was again started that
several large failures has occurred. which
produced panicy feeling and caused
another break in May to SIT cents, when
it was found that only one failure had
occurred, and that of local operator.
The market reacted on the afternoon
board. May advanced to S2t cents and
closed for the day at S2s cents. Export
clearings We're larger, aggregating 255,-
OOO bushels from three ports.
The market for corn opened higher,
but reacted under rather free offerings,
May falling back to 405 ceuts, rallied and
closed at 41fd44s cents. Receipts were
somewhat large, which, together with
the weakness in wheat, produced an
easier feeling. Oats also ruled easier. in
sympathy with the other markets. and
closed s@4 cents lower. There was very
little doing in mess pork and trading was
confined to a few settlements of May and
June contracts. Free offerings by two
or three prominent local operators caused
a break of 15a20 cents in lard, and prices
closed at about inside figures. Short ribs
weak under large offerings and closed 25
cents lower.

Cheap Rates to the National Drill.

WAsIIINGToS. March 1.-The Com
mittee of the Southern Passenger Agents
Convention, which adjourned here re-
Gently. has decided upon a general
National Drill rate for all travellers.
Under the Interstate Commerce law it
is understood they cannot make discri-
nations in favor of persons, so the COM
mittee has decided tn give the cheap sol
diers' rate To citizen travellers also.
Three-quarters of one cent per mile is
the rate fixed for parties of not less than
twenty-five in one party. for the short
line distance travelled. from all points to
Washington and return. This rate,
which applies To citizens and soldiers. is
the lowest ever given for similar pur-
poses; about one-half of that given to the
New Orleans Exposition.
